Sausalito is home to spectacular views,
fresh seaside breezes, rich cultural resources…
and starting this summer, it’s also home to
Way to Go Sausalito. Way to Go is a new
program about walking, biking, and transit in
Marin County. We are offering fun programs
and activities to encourage Sausalitans to get
out, stretch your legs, and explore all that our
great city has to offer.
Way to Go Sausalito offers something for
everyone. Look inside for the Order Form,
which offers free resources to help you dis­
cover how easy, fun, and healthy it can be to
walk, bike, and ride in and around Sausalito.
Use the order form to select your customized
packet of maps, brochures, and free gifts, and
we’ll deliver them to your door!
You can order a brand-new
walking map, including stair­
ways, parks, and trails, or

smarts you need to hop on

Bikes Belong Coalition
As you know, we have a great Farmer’s Market
here in Sausalito! It happens every Friday
through the summer from 4 to 8 PM in the
Ferry Parking Lot, and it’s easy to get there by
foot or by bike. Transporting your produce by
bike is a breeze — use a basket, backpack,
panniers, or a trailer to get those fresh fruits
and vegetables, organic foods, and flowers
home in no time.
Do you feel passionate about biking, walking,
transit, and getting around Sausalito without
driving alone? Sausalito is a beautiful place to
walk and bike, and you can help make it even
better by becoming a Way to Go volunteer.
Way to Go volunteers are part of the
Way to Go team and encourage motorists,
pedestrians, cyclists, and transit riders to
travel safely together and share the road.
Activities include bike rides, walks, classes,
and appearing at community events.
Volunteers commit to a minimum of two
events during the Summer 2008 event season.
Selected Way to Go volunteer applicants
receive a 3-hour training on the information
and skills necessary to talk with the public
about all of Sausalito’s transportation options.
Additionally, volunteers get an official Way to
Go Sausalito t-shirt, a variety of walking,
biking, and transit incentives throughout the
summer, and an opportunity to expand their
knowledge and skills.
To apply for the Way to Go Volunteer
Program, or for more information, contact us at
415-419-7069 or [email protected].
